Subterranean Life-Style Does Not Limit Long Distance Dispersal in African Mole-Rats

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Dispersal from the natal site to breeding sites is a crucial phase in the life history of animals and can have profound effects on the reproductive ecology and the structure of animal societies.

Seed dispersal in six species of terrestrial orchids in Biebrza National Park (NE Poland)

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2017
Knowledge about seed dispersal is required to explain problems in ecology, phylogeography, and conservation biology. Even though seed dispersal is a fundamental mechanism to understand problems at different levels of biological organization (individual ...

Long-Distance Wind-Dispersal of Spores in a Fungal Plant Pathogen: Estimation of Anisotropic Dispersal Kernels from an Extensive Field Experiment [PDF]

, 2014
Given its biological significance, determining the dispersal kernel (i.e., the distribution of dispersal distances) of spore-producing pathogens is essential. Here, we report two field experiments designed to measure disease gradients caused by sexually-

Secondary wind dispersal enhances long-distance dispersal of an invasive species in urban road corridors [PDF]

, 2011
Roads contribute to habitat fragmentation and function as dispersal barriers for many organisms. At the same time many nonnative plant species are associated with road systems, a relationship that has been explained by the availability of disturbed ...

Geographic distance affects dispersal of the patchy distributed greater long-tailed hamster (Tscherskia triton). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Dispersal is a fundamental process in ecology influencing the genetic structure and the viability of populations. Understanding how variable factors influence the dispersal of the population is becoming an important question in animal ecology.

Ants cannot account for interpopulation dispersal of the arillate pea Daviesia triflora [PDF]

, 2009
• Estimating distances and rates of seed dispersal, especially long-distance dispersal (LDD), is critical for understanding the dynamics of patchily distributed populations and species’ range shifts in response to environmental change.

Low rate of between-population seed dispersal restricts genetic connectivity and metapopulation dynamics in a clonal shrub [PDF]

, 2012
Clonal species normally have low seed production, low recruitment rates and long lifespans, and it is expected that the rates of long-distance dispersal (LDD) of seeds will be low as well. Banksia candolleana is a clonal shrub in Mediterranean-type, fire-

The Role of long distance dispersal versus local retention in replenishing marine populations [PDF]

, 2003
Early models and evidence from genetics suggested that long distance dispersal of larvae is likely a common event leading to considerable population connectivity among distant populations.

Sensitivity of habitat network models to changes in maximum dispersal distance.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Predicting the presence or absence (occurrence-state) of species in a certain area is highly important for conservation. Occurrence-state can be assessed by network models that take suitable habitat patches as nodes, connected by potential dispersal of ...

Plant dispersal across the tropical Atlantic by wind and sea currents [PDF]

, 2004
This review brings together evidence on the monophyly and ages of angiosperm lineages ranging across the tropical Atlantic with data on the direction, strength, and speed of sea currents and wind jets across that ocean. Mainly for pragmatic reasons (data
